Re: Shattering a clutch

reving up and droping the clutch will help shatter it....

Re: Shattering a clutch

Many people dont let off the gas when shifting, that doesnt shatter discs. Its quite uncommon. But, like any mechanical part, they can fail on occassion. A friend of mine had one shatter when going over a bad pothole. And he wasnt even using the clutch. Just knocked some springs out. Weird shit happens But I've never broken a disc launching hard or shifting at full throttle. ACT seems to have had a bad batch of discs lately though, springs busting all over the place these days. That may be why it seems common all of a sudden...
